Dear valued members,

As we move into the new year, and as I soon celebrate my first MEGA anniversary, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for the commitment YOU, members of MEGA Group, have shown over the past year. Your hard work, innovation, and dedication to providing exceptional service to your customers have been truly inspiring.

At this pivotal time, it is essential to reflect on the strength of our collective community of independent furniture store owners. Our ability to adapt, innovate, and support one another is what continues to drive our success, and what sets us apart from the larger chains and other groups.

Looking forward to 2025, I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. I am confident that together we can continue to grow and elevate our industry by staying true to our values of quality, personalized service, and community engagement.

To our BrandSource Business Group (BBG) members who benefit from our best-in-class website, digital marketing campaigns and support, and our market-leading merchandising programs—thank you for your continued partnership. Your success is a testament to the power of these tools and resources, and we are thrilled to see the positive impact they are having on your business. With our new campaigns, MEGA members’ websites attracted an impressive number of new customers who had never shopped on any of our websites.

Members who participated in our programs saw their web performance significantly improve compared to others. As we enter this new year, we are committed to continuing to enhance these programs, ensuring you stay ahead of the curve with the latest technologies, trends and strategies. We look forward to helping you further elevate your brand and achieve even greater milestones in 2025. If you are not yet part of our BBG membership, we invite you to contact your dedicated BBG Member Relations Manager to explore all the benefits of our program.

Last June, we had more vendors than ever at our Vancouver convention! Members who attended were highly satisfied by the event, and most took advantage of the amazing deals offered by our vendors; we had our best Stampede Sales ever!

MEGA turns 60 this year, and we are launching the festivities at the National MEGA convention happening on June 20 and 21, in Toronto. The convention is THE MEGA event of the year, it is open to all MEGA members and vendors, and you won’t want to miss it!

Here’s to another year of collaboration, growth, and success for the independent home goods industry!

To all our future members, do not hesitate to reach out to Nathan Hawes, our Sr Director of National Sales. He and his team, would be more than happy to answer all of your questions. 

For MEGA members who want to know more about the many advantages of joining the Brandsource business group, contact Renée Lacroix, our Sr. Director, National Member Relations and Digital Sales. Her and her team are available to listen and support you in any way they can. 

See you in Toronto!
